You can still have the MRI -- just WITHOUT the contrast material. You'll still get an image, and it will be readable. I'm sure they can tell you something!

But like Dr. Smith said, regardless of what they tell you, the ending will probably be the same. You won't be able to do anything about it besides medicate it. It's like me -- I've been deemed "inoperable" due to my osteoporosis, so whatever happens from here on out, makes no difference. i don't know WHY my doc keeps making me have MRI's. What's the point?? Maybe he wants to cover his own *****, I don't know. LOL But it costs the insurance company a lot of money, and for what?

Anyway, like I said, why not just have an MRI without contrast? Hugs, Lee
